- this video is unedited: all i did was put my cameraphone inside my guitar and played a little piece i've been working on. i was stunned to see such pronounced vibration / visible oscillations
to hear the original version of the song with the voices separated listen here: / shot1
Like my music on facebook! / nicogetzmusic
everyone was just watching the strings but im just vibing at the back of the class
Now that's a real compliment! Glad you dug it and thanks for letting me know!
I can't get this out of my head but for once I'm glad of it, its a beautiful tune man, I keep coming back here...
That is definitely cool, i find it intriguing .
+Michael Jones Thank you so much, I couldn't receive a bigger compliment! Makes me really happy to read, so I really appreciate you saying so :D
Any links to stuff you've recorded? If not, get on it!
Mick Jones :DogBiscuit: its called Shot1
Mariah Evans It's beautiful. Shared again. :-)
You're not actually seeing 'oscillation'; this is an effect caused by the rolling CMOS chip inside a cheap camera. On a CMOS chip, the image data is gathered off the sensor one row of 'pixels' at a time. This is the same thing that causes the 'wobble' or 'jello' effect that occurs when panning quickly with, say, a GoPro camera, or even a DSLR. Because the strings are vibrating faster than the CMOS sensor can pull in the data, you are essentially seeing the 'jello' effect on the side to side movement of the strings.
So,from what I can understand,the strings have those shapes because they vibrate so fast that ,in the time it takes the camera to capture 1 frame, they've moved so much that every single row of pixels actually captures a different position of the string?
yes but it's about wave frequence. the length of the waves on every string
but the different directions the waves are moving is looking very interesting, they're actualy standing waves or something close to it
James B of course it's the waveform do you even acoustic theory?
James B the lower strings have lower frequency and you can see that
Been listening to this for 5 years and it is still as blissful as first listen wow
Thank you so much for saying that!
i watched this video in my 8th grade science class and every time i hear this song it reminds me of one of the best years of school ive had
this is probably the 17th time (no joke) ive watched / listened to this song. It's in a playlist i listen to
This is a part of my school work, but I'm glad I listened to it, its really good!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it, and i appreciate the comment! Learning about waves?
I wached this video in a science lesson now can't stop watching it
Aliasing. Shannon's sampling theorem. Quite nice - the music, the physics, and the lesson in digital signal processing. Thanks, @nicogetz.
Amazing Dude. DUDE - Do this and play harmonics and the wave on the string is incredible.
Heh, i didn't think of it but that WOULD be interesting!
I got around to properly naming it-- it ended up getting called 'shot', simply because when recording that's what I named the file... Thinking, "I'll give it another shot"
Genius
This is one of my favourite tunes out there I keep coming back here again and again. Great job
Manasvi Baxi thank you so much for that
Thank you so much for that!
the fact that the oscillations are so nice and visible is a consequence of the rolling shutter effect (like a kind of stroboscopic effect)
Sweet! My video is used in a science class?
IAm in that class
It's being used in my Music Appreciation class.
it's inaccurate though, as the vibration effect is caused by the camera. Guitar strings are supposed to vibrate in stationary waves and the strings in the video seem to move in progressive waves...
Being watched in the whole class rn
used in my science class.
i was literally looking for C.R.O readings of various guitar strings, and happened upon this treasure, thank youuu, this was so beautiful!
Awesome i whached this video in a science lesson and now can't stop watching it
This is the best song i ever heard on guitar. And ive heard quite a lot
i am listening from my music class right now
your video is actually used in many classes around the world. I know this because it was used for my class too :)
true. I used it too for my AP Physics class.
I can’t believe this is real!!! 😳 I’m really glad that you posted it! It’s such a beautiful view of the strings! And the song is really nice too! I’m teaching a class on auditory perception and I might use this video in the lecture slides. I hope that’s okay. It’s a great perspective on the vibration pattern of the strings!
Note: guitar string waves are not actually this small. The reason why they appear like this is because of a camera effect called "rolling shutter", where only a small sliver of an image is processed at a time, moving from one side of the lens to the other.
This is part of my homework 😂
great video, helping me to understand my physics homework at the moment, and also fantastic piece of music too!
Beautiful song. You should put a green screen behind the strings, record the session and go for a ride to record a video for your song.
oh nice
@megly78 :D thank you for watching! and as a lifelong physics nerd, I'm honored to be featured in the classroom ;)
One of humans greatest inventions
I love guitar 🎸 🥰
This isn't real. What you see here is what happens when a camera sensor (which scans the image from top to bottom) is slower than the speed at which the strings vibrate, so they "draw" a zigzagging line. Kinda like scanning a sheet while you move it.
"What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."
lean84 Just shut the fuck up
how can mirrors be real if our eyes arent real?
Hahahaha ikr some idiots in my class think it’s real cause the Teachers showed it and said they did it b4
cousteaulecommandant
Who the fuck CARES if it’s “real”? It IS real to some degree, however, yes- it is a phenomena for certain. But it’s definitely a beautiful one.
beatiful, nice song and great technique too.
This is really awesome, interesting and relaxing. It also sounds beautiful.
So beautiful and relaxing!
beautiful piece, really really good. Keep playing man, I'm going to go practice some more now!
Do you have any tabs or notes you could share? This song is very beautiful and I would like to learn how to play it on my guitar :-)
This is gorgeous. I teach acoustics at Montclair State and this is the most beautiful example of standing waves. Absolutely beautiful and the song is lovely!
Definitly mesmerizing ! 😮
@rXkVeNoM thank you! i'm glad you like the song; it's something i wrote, actually :] i originally wrote it to be played as three separate voices, you can listen with the link in the description if you'd like ;)
I need a 10-hour version of this lol.
incredibly cool
This is really interesting. The oscillations look like they are due to the time-delay effect of camera phone digital cameras. It would be really interesting if you'd make a comparable video where the camera had been rotated 90 degrees (so that the strings would be horizontal on the video)!
Dude? Uh.... just turn your phone. . . . There you go....we are all good at different things...
Rayay Slomnims, You were missing the point. The effect you see is caused by the phone scanning from top to bottom slower than the string is vibrating, meaning in the next row of pixels the string has moved just a bit. Martin Swift wants to see how the effect would change if it was recorded with the phone turned, as the phone would be scanning in the other direction.
Genius!
And beautiful!
This tune is so good that it should be played with the rocn'n'roll band!
Mate, that's a wicked little tune, nice one. Very good playing, going to look you up now :-)
This is so satisfying 👌👌👌
Don't thank me! Thank you! I'm glad you like the song and flattered it made it in your presentation :) Good for you for getting an A on a calc presentation!
Awesome, thanks for listening man! Glad you like it!
same vibes ❤️ amazing cover
This video is awesome. I used it as part of my Math Presentation for calculus and got an A. Thanks A lot! By the way, this song is awesome.
This is really cool. I'm using this video to show my 3rd graders how string instruments produce sound. The strings are so wiggly--like them!
Also, it is really relaxing, and I might have replayed it more than a few times just for personal enjoyment.
Please do not use this for educative purposes as you will be misleading your students. What you see is not representative of the vibrations on the string, it is an effect of how the camera produces an image. To catch the actual vibrations you need a high-speed camera.
currently learning about stationary waves in physics ;)
I don't think you're correct. If it were merely an artifact the lower strings would not have a visibly, obvious longer wavelength (which they do).
Really? Troll ... find something better to do with your life.
Miriam Hartman
If you record a guitar strings with a high speed camera after being struck/strummed, they don't move the way they seem to in this video.
This is so cool. Amazing video. Song is perfect for seeing the visuals of all these singing strings
Despite the comments it’s still really pretty
very cool! i like the piece too!
Thanks, Michael!
please tab this song
These are the tabs, mein Freud
Make a ten hour video please. I just wanna listen to this all the time :)
im replying 5 years later but just loop it
Why can't I see my guitar strings do this with me eyes? As close as I look, I just see the strings going back and forth; does the camera's fps make this effect more evident than the naked eye does?
I think you should do another video like this one. Its really awesome
Thank you, Chris!!
@@nicogetz your welcome. I will bring a new painting to you and your dad in the next couple months. I want you to know you are my favorite people and your dad is my favorite doctor I have ever had. :) also I love your instruments and you play very well. Much love and respect.
Really digging this song. Think you can put a tab up? Would love to learn this piece
This visualization is due to a phenomena called aliasing based on the division of string vibration frequency to that of the camera's frame (sample) rate.
this is so nice
Beware,, it's not slow motion string vibrating,, but a rolling shutter effect of the camera. Listen to sound,, it doesn't slowmo
not only an awesome video... amazing playing! i really enjoyed this vid!!
This is really good man.. Really good! What tuning?
I usually see videos like these flooded with comments from a few days ago to a few minutes ago. The most recent comment that I see us 2 weeks old. Too the new people seeing this, gather ya'lls friends and start flooding the comment section! (Not with spam ;))
Hehe. Feedback is always welcome!!
amazing view with amazing note😍
Could you tab this beautiful song, please!??
no, thank you! :) glad you like it
I love that tune😏
Why thank you, sir!
This is beautiful mate!
Why, thank you, sir!
Merci pour cette vision...
So cool no wonder we can’t see it vibrating up close
Showing this to my students to show the concept of vibrations producing sound
Thank you very much I need this for my homework ❤️✨
Happy to help! :)
beautiful
Thank you, sir!
Honestly in love 😍😍 that was Beautiful
Why thank you! That's quite the high praise there! :)
Very beautiful :3 and What song is that ? :)
beautiful video
Beautiful!
Why thank you!!
Thank you, sir!
For those interested in string vibration visualization, please refer to the Wiki entry on "Rolling shutter". The "visualization" seen here is an illusion, as pointed out by several people below. I love the music. The video is cool.
Thank you so much! I can't tell you how happy that makes me! :)
I think those waves could be the harmonics of the string. I've read something like this in the solution to the D'Alembert's Wave eq'n.
CZcams after 9 years: hmm... idk why but i want to put this video in recomendations...
Is it REALLY 9 years old?! What has happened to my life? lol...
@@nicogetz 🗿🗿🗿
Check out the 4th string from the left at 2:22. The string creates a square wave, and that note sounds like a square wave! Can anyone explain why/how that happened?
Interesting! It sounds like the string is vibrating off the fret a bit right there, possibly this is creating overtones that form this wave shape? Just an idea!
Well your comment was from 3 months ago but i have an answer for you. This is caused by the rolling shutter effect , wherein the camera exposes the top of the frame before the bottom of the frame. So by the time the frame slightly to the bottom of the screen is exposed the guitar string has moved slightly to the left or right. I forget the exact specifics but i believe there is only 1 or maybe even only half a standing wave present on any particular guitar fret. If you use a higher frame rate camera you will see the strings just slide left and right as a unit.
Is it not overtones? since the note also sounds like a square wave. You can endlessly stack harmonic overtones to come closer and closer to a square wave. a single string does do this if i recall correctly so it should be possible. Please correct me if i'm wrong or verify if it's right. I'm very curious to know for certain.
Im not certain. I don't know if it would be possible to construct a wave such that it could take a strange shape. But in the case of a guitar this effect is due to the rolling shutter. You can see slow motion footage of strings on actual high frame rate cameras and it just shows it slowly moving back and forth as a unit
check out fourier series. Basically an infinite or many sine waves can adds up to form different kind of wave forms.
this is amazing - thank you!
Why thank you! I'll see how long I can draw it oit ;)
This is beautiful! Do you have tabs for this song, or something similar? Anything? I'm a novice that wants to learn "easy-listening" songs like this and I don't know what to look-up to find them
Thanks, man! Standard tuning!
Can you share tabs of this awesome melody?
This display don't show the real motion of the strings.
It should be expected standing waves. It can be seen traveling waves of very high frequency.
It's maybe due to the stroboscopic effect of the camera...
the song was awesome lol keep workin on it. the science behind this has to do with the rolling shutter of the camera making the strings appear as though they are oscillating irregularly. the faster the shutter speed, the more the string seems to oscillate.
My music teacher played this in our class :))
Cool beans 😎
What about frame rate? Nice piece by the way.
beautiful!
Vsauce did a video about distortions, he mentioned something like this in it, go check it out.
this song is beautiful and id love to see a tab, nice video!
The person who submitted the video made it. read the description -.-
Do you have an official name for this song, or is it just a kind of quick arrangement? :) also, PLEASE source me to any other stuff you've recorded?
Hey man, thanks for the interest! I initially wrote it as a 3 part harmony and recorded it as 3 tracks, this was me just doing my best to play all 3 parts at once, to what extent that was possible. You can listen to that version here: www.slurpterminal.com/music/shot.mp3 As far as an official name, not really--I gave it the working title of "shot1" when I was recording it (but only because it was my first shot at recording it lol.) But you can find that and many other things I've recorded at www.slurpterminal.com/music/test_list.php --there are two versions of it there if you scroll down. Let me know if you like anything you hear!
what is the name of the song? great playing!!
i want this person to play at my funeral...... that was so beautiful.
+Melissa Lee aww, thank you! ..but I'd rather play for the living!
+Melissa Lee aww, thank you! ..but I'd rather play for the living!
it looks like that due to DISTORTIONS
I think it's a function of the frequency of the note relative to the framerate of the camera, akin to how the speed of a strobe light can make a wheel look like it's turning backwards. For instance, anything at an exact multiple of the frame rate (e.g. 30/60/90 Hz etc called overtones) will appear perfectly stationary as the camera will capture it in the same place in its period every time it takes a picture. Similarly, around 31 Hz (and overtones) will look like it's creeping forward, 29 back
thank you sir!, what resolution can i try to use ?
